 <br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Children’s Hunger Alliance (CHA) provides FREE meals to libraries across the State of Ohio through the USDA’s Child and Adult Food Care Program
</span></strong>. CHA has started a new model that is easier to implement and manage, using nutritious, kid-friendly, shelf-stable products. Less fuss and muss. And, it’s a great way to welcome more children and teens ages 0-18 (and through age 21 for individuals
 with an IAP). If you’ve never offered afterschool snacks/meals before, or if you’ve tried without much success, this may work for you, as it has with many sites in Ohio.
<br>
  <br>
We know that 1 in 5 children in the state of Ohio do not always know where their next meal will come from. CHA works with vendors across the state to provide nutritious and FREE meals for students in afterschool programs. Please contact Jared Buerger, Director
 of Afterschool Nutrition to learn more about receiving free, nutritious meals for students during out-of-school-time programs at your library.
